It's hard to justify purchasing an Apple Watch, considering how redundant a device it really is. In most cases, the Watch costs more than the iPhone is it designed to complement. Imagine paying more for a full-featured remote control than your actual TV.
At its September 7 event Apple unveiled a new . This packed in a new GPS sensor as well as waterproofing to 50m and a new dual-core Apple S2 SiP chip to power everything. The new Series 2 will be available for £369.
Best-looking smartwatch so far; Force Touch well integrated; Digital Crown is a useful addition; Comfortable to wear
Unintuitive and buggy software; Significantly drains iPhone battery; Third-party apps need work; Some gimmicky features
